Fab Freebie: Talent Show

***This giveaway is now closed – see who won below!***

This week’s randomly selected winner is… Sheilagh (who’s talents lie in “all aspects of art and being crafty!”). Congrats!

One of the most exciting parts of doing a project is getting to share the sweat-inducing results when it’s done. And that’s the idea behind HouseTalent, a free site where you can easily upload before pics, progress shots, and after photos of the DIYs that are going on in your digs. The friendly interface makes browsing other peoples’ accomplishments just as easy as uploading your own inspiration – from small furniture builds to major room overhauls. And to help you get some of your projects ready to share, HouseTalent is giving away a $250 gift card to World Market this week. Speaking of the world, this giveaway is available internationally – so if World Market doesn’t ship to you, you can select a local alternative for your gift card.

    I’m talented.

    I type about 180-200 words per minute. When I’m taking care of notes at work, I’ll suddenly feel eyes on me and realize that everyone is just watching me type lol. If my current job doesn’t work out, I’ll be one of those court typers.

    I’m Talented!!!

    I’m really good at cooking and baking. Being in the kitchen is the best feeling in the world, there everything becomes delicious and even the journey to the plate (the wine while sauté-ing!) is relaxing and fun to me.

    I’m TALENTED – My secret talent is that I can juggle. Nothing fancy – just 3 balls. I learned it at a Juggling show at their “Learn to Juggle in 30 mins or less” class. I was shocked and awed and DID learn to juggle in just about 20 minutes. Truth in advertising!

    My talent is crocheting! I’ve been doing it for around 20 years and have made many, many baby blankets over the last several years.

    I know the words to just about every song I’ve ever heard – especially ones from late 1990s. That’s an incredibly useful talent… ;-)

    I’m talented! I have an odd knack for identifying the make and model of cars on the road that I pass. My husband doesn’t know how I do it and can’t do it himself.

    I’M TALENTED…
    I can take freakishly accurate notes on my laptop. It comes from having a terrible memory and being a visual learner. :)

    I’m talented! Hmm…maybe being organized? If you watched my 4th grade talent show video, you would definitely say it was doing a rad dance to Ace of Base with fog machines and glitter shirts.

    I’m talented at reading out loud! It seems like a really dumb talent, but as a third grade teacher, I do a lot of out loud reading!

    I’M TALENTED!

    It would take some pretty serious effort to get me lost. Thanks dad for my amazing sense of direction, memory, and ability to back track. It’s really come in handy since I’ve just moved to a new city and my phone freezes every time I turn the gps on.

    I’M TALENTED! I have a really good eye for space and measurement… if someone asks me “will this fit here?” I can tell just by eyeballing it whether it will or if someone says “how long is this?” I can usually tell you down to the inch! Weird, but useful when moving furniture in small spaces! :)

    I’M TALENTED!!! My talent these days seems to be memorizing the lyrics to Yo Gabba Gabba songs for my daughter, which is her favorite show.

    I’m talented!

    I work for a circus and I can juggle while riding standing on a bareback horse. I also swallow swords while scrapbooking.
